The fish processing vessel that ran aground almost two weeks ago has been refloated. On March 15 the M/V Pacific Producer ran aground near the village of Ouzinkie. At the time of the grounding it had an estimated 8,000 gallons of diesel fuel on board, as well as various lubes and oils. According to a situation report from the Department of Environmental Conservation the vessel was refloated on Sunday without assistance from the salvage team. During the vessel’s stint aground no spills were reported. Once afloat, the Pacific Producer was able to travel to the harbor in Ouzinkie under its own power. A dive survey conducted Tuesday determined the hull to be intact, but the vessel must remain in the harbor until the Coast Guard approves otherwise.

Next week is Tsunami Preparedness Week, and emergency planners in cities and towns along Alaska’s coastline will urge residents to make sure they know what to do in the event of a tsunami. Kodiak residents are no strangers to this type of preparedness. After all, community members are reminded of tsunamis each Wednesday at 2 p.m. when the siren blasts throughout the borough.
Weekly sirens don’t take place in every coastal community, but next Wednesday there will be a statewide test of all alarm systems at 9:45 a.m. That is, all but one. Duane Dvorak is an associate planner for the community development department with the Kodiak Island Borough and said Kodiak will not participate in the morning siren next Wednesday.

Spring is upon us, according to the calendar at least, which means Kodiak’s Island Trails Network is gearing up for yet another season of trail building and maintenance, as well as marine debris clean up. Tom Pogson is the director of marine programs, outreach and education for ITN and spoke on KMXT’S Talk of the Rock yesterday about marine debris removal in the coming months. Pogson said he joined other ITN staffers at the Alaska Forum on the Environment in February, which devoted more than two days to marine debris education.
